I bought a computer from Cyberpower (which I will never do again) about 2 years ago. Ever since I first turned it on (which itself was an event, as it would not initially boot) I have been having problems. First when it is booting, it says no drives detected. Everything still loads fine, and for the most part this thing is a beast. The specs are as follows:

I think that pretty much covers all the important stuff in there. But basically the big issue I have been having is I have been getting BSOD constantly. What doesn't make sense though is that I can run high end games at full graphical capacity with no problem..no lag, nothing, but when I go on google images I get BSOD. Or if I sometimes go on youtube I get BSOD, or Tumblr or Twitter. It doesn't make any sense. Also when I turn my computer off when it has been on for a long time I get this whining noise from my power supply, which leads me to believe that perhaps it is my power supply and it cannot put out enough power to support both my graphics cards? But if that were the case then why would I be able to run high end games fine, and get crashes when I go to google images? Please help as I cannot stand this problem any more and any trouble shooting I do seems to solve nothing!! I have run out of ideas and I do not know what to do!

1) What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?
2) Look in Device Manager - any yellow or red symbols?
3) Does your system have a Linksys WUSB54G wireless USB network adapter? If so, go to their website and update the driver.

1) Nothing is really new since things stopped working. I began having this problem very soon after receiving my computer. I know it is stupid, but I have waited almost 2 years to post the problems in a forum.

2)No yellow or red symbols on device manager, all is clear.

3) I do have a linksys wireless usb network adapter but I am not entirely sure the make of it. It says;

Wait...seriously? The driver for my network adapter is what has been causing me all these problems? I just used device manager to update the drivers. The one on the Linksys website is only 32 bit and it's from '07. You think that is good enough?

Do you have a second hd (internal or external)? If so, use disc imaging software to create an image of your system drive and then you can try anything you like. If you don't, then I guess the method outlined in your link is probably still worth a shot.
